DESCRIPTION:4th Tuesday Films\nReel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People\n\nThis 
 documentary dissects a slanderous aspect of cinematic history that has run 
 virtually unchallenged from the earliest days of silent film to today's 
 biggest Hollywood blockbusters. Featuring acclaimed author Dr. Jack 
 Shaheen, the film explores a long line of degrading images of Arabs 
 offering devastating insights into the origin of these stereotypic images, 
 their development at key points in US history, and why they matter so much 
 today. \n\nShaheen shows how the persistence of these images over time has 
 served to naturalize prejudicial attitudes toward Arabs and Arab culture, 
 in the process reinforcing a narrow view of individual Arabs and the 
 effects of specific US domestic and internationl policies on their lives. 
 By inspiring critical thinking about the social, political, and basic human 
 consequences of leaving these Hollywood caricatures unexamined, the film 
 challenges viewers to recognize the urgent need for counter-narratives that 
 do justice to the diversity and humanity of Arab people and the reality and 
 richness of Arab history and culture. \n\nFilm is free and open to 
 all.\n\nwww.realbadarabs.com\n
